Door Lock Installation - HELP!!!

["Jester, Chad (GEAE)" <chad.jester@ae.ge.com>]

List,

I'm at a new crossroad.  I need to install the door lock cylinders in my '74
TR6.  I have new thin gaskets.

No matter what I do, I can't get the lock pressed in far enough to allow the
lock arms to "spring" into position.

Has anyone been through this exercise?  I know they didn't have time to fool
with installation on the assembly line
so I'm sure there must be some trick.

TIA,
